(a) In this post? No. His blog, maybe... so why downvote this post?
(b) I would call that a concern or suspicion, not a certainty.
Moreover Silas appears to be mostly arguing descriptively for an etiology of moral intuitions, so it's not too surprising that his moral intuitions remain relatively unchallenged. I can give you my meta-ethic as well; shockingly, developing it did not result in my deciding that torturing babies is the summum bonum of existence.
I hate intellectual property as much as the next internet peanut gallery member (as you can see if you click through to Silas' personal blog post)... but even I would have to say that comparing it to torturing babies is a bit of a stretch.
.......a little bit of a stretch anyway ;)
Heh, I got carried away. I was not making a comparison to IP (about which I'm ambivalent), just pointing out that developing moral theories is one case where we want the theories to mostly fit the intuitions, so changing your mind is less expected.
